In case you guys missed it, we (Google) released our Native Client
project. This project was created to allow the execution of native code
inside a browser (for obvious reasons, it only works with x86
platforms). The reason I bring it up is that it can also be ran as an
stand-alone container for applications so this can be used to create
multi-OS applications that runs unmodified under any supported OS. For
example, SDL Quake was ported to it and the required modifications were
very small. The new Quake executable runs equally well under Linux,
Windows and MacOS (all supported platforms).

Maybe this could be something good to bring to Haiku? I would be willing
to work on the specific Haiku port but the build system requires scons
and I am not very motivated to port this. :) Anyway up to the task of
porting scons to Haiku? Maybe this could be a candidate for a HaikuPorts
project?
